My app crashs, when I click an entry on the menubar. What could cause
this behavior?

Thilo: I don't mean this is a bad way, but you need to learn to ask more specific questions on this list. Questions like "how do I use NSMatrix?" and "My app crashes when I click on the menubar -- why?" just don't give nearly enough information to those of us who would like to help you. And having to ask you to clarify your questions just wastes our time and the list's bandwidth.
Does it crash the instant the mouse button is pressed when over the menu bar, or does it crash when you release the mouse button over a particular menu item? If you click on the menu bar, but then just drag away into space so you're not selecting anything, and then release, does it still crash? Does it crash if you try to select something from the Apple menu? Does it crash if you click on the menu clock or some other thing on the right-hand side of the menu bar? Does it crash every time, or just sometimes? Does this happen as soon as your app launches, or do you need to have used it for a while? What type of crash is it -- what does gdb or Project Builder's debugger say when you crash? And perhaps most importantly, what is the backtrace for the crash?
By the time you answer these questions, you're probably close to finding the bug yourself. :-> If not, however, then post the answers to these questions and I'd guess somebody could help you pretty quickly. But without information like this, there are more or less an infinite number of reasons why your app might be crashing.
